Yes you read the title correct, Mirai Nikki also known as The Future Diary is in talks about making a live action show based on the manga. This could be a good thing or a bad thing. Whenever a person hears the worlds "live-action" they tend to turn away from it. A recent Oricon poll revealed that the Japanese audience is frequently dissatisfied with live-action adaptations of anime and manga. As opposed to the American live-action of Japanese anime series *cough* Dragon Ball Evolution and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li *cough* Japanese live-actions haven't turned out to be all that bad. The live action of Hana Kimi and Boys Over Flowers proved to be so successful that it spawned multiple versions of the drama in different languages.

So will the Mirai Nikki live action follow in the footsteps of Hana Kimi and Boys Over Flowers? Who knows... Hopefully it doesn't disappoint. The Mirai Nikki live action show titled: Mirai Nikki -Another:World- is set to debut this April. Actor Masaki Okada who played in the live action versions of Hana Kimi and BokuKimi is confirmed to be in the live action. Okada will play Arata Hoshino, who is an original character that is not in the Mirai Nikki manga. I'm looking forward to seeing how successful this show will be.

It's that time of year again. As March approaches, Vocaloid fans everywhere know to be on the look out for 39's Giving Day. 39's Giving Day, a play on words (since 3 is san and 9 is kyu in Japanese it sounds like "Thank You"), is the annual Vocaloid concert held in Japan using 3D technology. This year's event is extra special though.

This year is the final 39's Giving Day concert and as it's name suggests it will be held on March 9, 2012. But if that isn't enough, Hatsune Miku Live Party 2012 (also called MIKUPA for short) is on March 8 this year, meaning two days of back to back Vocaloid events. While tickets to watch both events live may be gone already, Nico Nico Douga and it's English counterpart, NicoNico, are streaming both concerts. Each concert will set you back about $25 and can be viewed any time between when it airs live and March 16, 2012. If you purchase a ticket to watch both it will only cost you $40.

Congratulations, reader! After so many months of miraculous recovery and therapy, caused by that horrifying incident of having your house explode via plane–sized projectiles, you are finally one hundred percent recovered! Naturally, none of this would have been possible without the medical expertise of that unlicensed doctor your friends found while surfing /b/.

Of course, all of this wouldn’t have happened if you had gotten that plane-crashing-into-house insurance in the first place.

To top it off, that strange but brilliant doctor only charged you twenty-five bucks for the entire procedure and recovery! Looks like you didn’t have to do all that fundraising after all. To celebrate your good fortune, you have decided to fulfill one of your biggest dreams, and make way to the land of the Rising Sun –Japan!

Also home to a good portion of Rule 34 contributors.

You spend your vacation having the time of your life, until one day you collapse for unknown reasons while running around in Akihabara. When you finally wake up in the hospital, a nurse and a translator are there waiting to tell you that you have developed a completely new heart condition. However, the best the hospital can do is to help pay for the flight home, due to that fact that the hospital cannot care for someone in your condition. Just before the nurse can continue another doctor rushes into the room and says:

Don’t listen to these fools; they’re towing the hospital line. Nobody wants to deal with your case because not only is it expensive, but you are a foreigner –who cares about you? But, I’d be willing to help… if you’re willing to take the risk.

And then he gives you that smile that says: “Like you have any say in the matter.”

We all know Windows 7 will eventually have a successor, and in this case, it is known as Windows 8. Not surprisingly, those guys at Microsoft have extremely good naming sense to keep this going. But will it live up to what Windows 7 has laid out? Quite frankly, with the Start button being removed, or remodeled into a "Hot Corner" actually, they're taking an unnecessary step in simplifying the already simple User Interface.

Since July 17, 2003 writer Ken Akamatsu has held an audience of millions captivated with Mahou Sensei Negima! Unfortunately all good things must come to end, and Negima will end in just 3 more chapters.  As a loyal fan of the series I can only hope it gets the ending it deserves. However, considering Ken's previous track record, I'm not too worried.

Several days ago, I celebrated my 22^nd birthday, readers. And like most birthdays, it paled in comparison to previous ones while reminding me of how much older I’ve become.

Remember this place? Remember how awesome it was? Remember how after this, every other birthday sucked?

I’m only 22 though, and even though my diet is slowly but surely making its way to a prune based end – I still have time to make something out of myself. Climb mountains, travel the world, make new discoveries, moon the social elite – because we’re all aiming for that particular trophy : “Achievement unlocked – Bucket List completed.” I’ve still got time… until I turn 28. Then I’m screwed.

Okay, I’ve already nailed number 84 - ”Dedicate my life to comics.” I’ll most likely have number 324 - “Have a respectable career” when I turn twenty-six… Probably will have to write off number 1,986 - “Turn into a jet and fly into the sun like a boss” Achievement. Awww.

Iwamaki Rikitarou has hit that point, ladies and gentlemen. At age 28 he has achieved his true goal in life – absolute freedom! Freedom to live his life any way he wants it, any way he needs it! And yet, all that freedom is failing him right now. His girlfriend is fed up with his laziness and wants to leave him, his band mates don’t respect him and to top it off his dream of becoming a rock star is all but done. (Apparently all great rock stars die between twenty six and twenty eight. Go figure.) Cursing the world and the fate he has been dealt, Rikitarou does what any slacker does – gets wasted. And like most binge drinking runs, he gets into a fight where he is hopeless out classed. With his life flashing in front of his eyes, Rikitarou does the only thing any man with self worth can do…

After spending years upon years of helping your family slave and save what little funds you can get, you’ve finally done it. Through your combined efforts, you and your family have managed to collect enough funds to send you, the eldest child, to Cicero City! From the tales you’ve heard from foreigners, Cicero City is a place where money flows like water and opportunities are abound in every way. Hopefully you’ll be able to bring your family here once you’ve struck it big. You step out of the carriage and walk into the inn where you’ll be staying, deep in Friedrichstown, only to come across this scene:

It's the most wonderful time of the year~! Okay, not really. But it's pre-convention season here in New York, which means that planning is underway for the upcoming anime conventions in our area. On a related note, have you or a friend ever wished that you could do more than just sit in the audience of a panel at a convention? If the answer to that question is yes, then we have a chance you won't want to pass up!

SpringFestNY, the largest free anime convention in the NY Tri-State area, is looking for some amazing fans to host panels at their convention this upcoming March. "We want people who have never hosted a panel in their life to come and spread their passion to all of our friends at SpringFest", says PAS President Adam Edwards. If you're interested in hosting a panel, you can submit your idea via their panel registration form.

For those of you looking for something a little more passive, regular guest registration also started today! You can sign up on their eventbrite page. SpringFestNY has always had a special place for us here at leetNEET since it's the first convention that we ever covered. We'll be there this year too, so come on out and say hello!
